We understand how imperative it is for hospitals and health systems to maintain accurate code assignments to optimize reimbursements that accurately reflect quality services and minimize regulatory and compliance liabilities. ECLAT Health Solutions provides comprehensive auditing services to support hospitals and health systems focused on inpatient, outpatient, and pro-fee coding for ICD-10-PCS, CPT-4 and HCPCS code sets.
Ongoing quality audits help our clients better understand the return on investment (ROI) and accuracy of each individual coder on their team as well as their investment in external contract coding resources. In addition to monitoring and improving the accuracy of coders, ECLAT identifies clinical documentation improvement (CDI) opportunities to make sure physicians are providing accurate and complete documentation resulting in decreased queries, and accurate and specified code assignment.

The frequency of audits can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual hospital or health system.
